XT.COM futures review 2026
What XT.COM is
XT.COM fills a specific role in this comparison. It offers 300-plus perpetual futures pairs. Its base fee schedule is 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker. The maker fee matches Binance. The taker fee is at the same level as KuCoin and Bitget.
XT.COM also shares revenue with holders of its governance token, and it has a standard mid-tier product set. The platform is useful when a trader needs an altcoin perpetual that Binance, Bybit, or OKX do not list yet. That trader must accept a mid-tier taker rate to get it.
XT.COM was founded in 2018. Its User Agreement names no legal entity or jurisdiction. The XT token model gives a share of platform fee revenue to governance participants. So active users and the exchange both gain when the exchange earns more.
Most central exchanges do not do this. They keep all fee income and give token holders only trading discounts. See XT.COM's current open interest and volume on PerpFinder.
Fees in detail
XT.COM's fee schedule is 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker on USDT-margined perpetual futures. At base level, the maker rate matches Binance and OKX. The taker rate is 1 basis point above them.
It is level with KuCoin (0.06%) and Bitget (0.06%). VIP tiers cut fees for accounts with more volume. XT token holdings add more discounts.
Take a $10,000 BTC/USDT round-trip at market. The base taker cost of $12.00 is level with KuCoin and Bitget. It is $2 above Binance and OKX ($10.00 each). Hyperliquid costs less still, at $9.00. Use the PerpFinder fee calculator to test larger positions and VIP tiers.
Spot fees need a separate note. XT.COM charges 0.20% on spot trades. That is double the 0.10% standard. It is also well above Binance (0.10%) and OKX (0.10%). If you trade both spot and futures on one platform, that gap adds up.
A $10,000 spot buy on XT.COM costs $20 in fees. Binance charges $10 in fees for the same buy.
Security and proof of reserves
On November 28, 2024, an abnormal transfer took about 1 million USDT, in 12 coins, out of a wallet that XT.COM owns (XT.COM post-mortem). XT.COM says the incident did not affect user funds. Withdrawals stopped for a short time.
The Proof of Reserves page lets users check their balance with a Merkle tree. Its snapshot of 2026-09-15 showed BTC at 111.22%, ETH at 111.87%, USDT at 111.01% and USDC at 110.93%.
Outside firms audit this method less than they audit the reserves of some rivals. OKX uses zk-STARK proofs. Bybit has monthly Hacken audits. KuCoin has 32 Hacken-audited PoR reports in a row. CER.live puts XT.COM 64th in exchange security among the platforms it tracks.
That rank shows the short public audit history.
Its About page and User Agreement name no licence and no regulator. XT.COM does not serve users in the US, Canada, Mainland China or Singapore.
Leverage and pairs
XT.COM has over 300 perpetual futures pairs. Max leverage on BTC/USDT is 150x for positions up to 300,000 notional. The next bracket drops to 125x. The 300+ pair count beats Bitget (250+) and BingX (200+).
It is close to OKX (300+). The 150x cap on BTC/USDT matches Binance and Bybit. It is above OKX (100x) and Kraken (50x).
Each position can use cross margin or isolated margin. Copy trading lets users copy the positions of listed signal providers. The platform shows each provider's past results to help users pick one.
Grid bots run automatic trades on futures in a set price range, with no outside software. The token launchpad lists early-stage projects for XT holders.
The 300+ pair count is the main practical edge. An altcoin perpetual that Binance does not list yet has a fair chance to be on XT.COM. Some traders want to enter a token position on a smaller venue before larger exchanges list it.
XT.COM gives that access at Binance-equivalent fee rates rather than KuCoin's 1bp premium.
Who XT.COM is for
XT.COM suits traders who need an altcoin perpetual that Binance, Bybit, or OKX do not list. These traders must accept a taker rate at KuCoin's level to get it. XT.COM's value is in this overlap. The use case is the 300+ pair list with a 0.02% maker rate that matches Binance.
Some traders need deep depth, a licensed party, or a security record with no incident. Binance, Kraken, or OKX serve those needs better. Weigh two risks against XT.COM's fee and pair gains. One is the November 2024 breach. The other is the short record of outside audits.
How it compares
In PerpFinder's daily snapshot on 2026-09-04, XT.COM's 24-hour perp volume was 12% of Binance's. That figure is one dated result, not a trend. BTC and ETH order book depth is fine for positions under $50k notional.
Below the top 50 assets by market cap, open interest and spreads get worse fast. At that point, the real cost to trade matters more than the listed fee schedule.
On reserve openness, XT.COM is below mid-tier rivals that use Hacken audits. CoinGecko's exchange data shows XT.COM's daily volume in the $2-4 billion range. That is real activity, but it is well below the $10+ billion scale of Binance or Bybit. Keep that in mind when you size positions and deposits.
XT.COM is a fair choice if you want a 300+ pair list at standard fees. For all other needs, the PerpFinder exchanges page shows options with better records. Read about the XT token model and the spot fee gap before you deposit.
